Usual nonsense

[Akverno]

The donkeys keep trying to give me their money, but for some reason fate just won't allow it. Two different tournies with me losing as a dominant favorite. Starting to get a little aggravating to be honest.

Again, they want to give me their money but it just doesn't work out. I could have let this go but i'd been card dead for about half an hour before I got it and the blinds were getting pretty high.

I made a beautiful call against a guy who had been absolutely aggro against everyone. Amazing call, and I get rewarded by him hitting a 10 outer against me w/ one card to go.

[X-Longshot-X]

wow...thats a brutal run for you.....but at least you are not tilting (that i can see)

[Akverno]

It's really not as bad as it looks cause I'm waiting for a callback on a real job before I go get a summer job. So I've played a ton, even cracked aces twice in one tournament, but I have had a bunch of tournies end like this and it's aggravating.

[Akverno]

This one really pissed me off. I had to deal with the State of Alaska on the phone and I was distracted for a huge portion of the tournament. I get back, play a couple of hands and this happens.

The whole of Alaska was pissed at you?

[Akverno]

Lol, no had issues with the entire state, just the permanent fund division. Nothing is better then being on hold for an hour.

[Akverno]

ug, made a move on the flop with a decent pair and the turn came a high card and a guy with a bigger stack pushed into me. I folded, probably should have called. Anyway, here's the hand that knocked me out of the tourney. Don't blame the guy at all for the call, he just picked up half of the deck for outs on the turn.

Ok, this one was me laying down one on another guy. I'm not sure how bad of a beat it was, but the 5-1 pot odds with suited connectors on the big blind. I was healthy enough I figured I'd take a shot at the flop and I got real lucky. Don't know what to say, looks like my luck might be turning around.

Ahh, busted out of a Double Shootout on at 6th place, one before I would have at least gotten decent money. Anyway, decided to play a mtt afterwards and didn't get dealt anything. And I mean anything, I finally got a hand and pushed and this is how good my table imagine was. Honestly AT offsuit.
